their friend being
your valentines...
(crushing) part one!

I blush, scrolling through my gallery and seeing some photos I took with Draco today.

I sigh quietly, why lie to yourself, Y/n?

I don't even like Draco. I just... wanted to get over the fact that Tom didn't ask me to be his valentine.

Hogwarts had made a small tradition that anyone with a valentine could have a slow dance at the end of dinner.

I wanted nothing more than my dance to be with Tom, but if he didn't feel the same, that's okay too.

I flinch a little, surprised at the sound of three sharp knocks on my door. I get up, lightly brushing my fingers through my hair before opening it.

"Tom?" I say softly, honestly a little surprised.

"You're going out with Draco?"

"Huh?"

"Don't act clueless. I saw you two with my own eyes." He says, crossing his arms and his biceps flex against his shirt.

"He asked me out. So what?" I say, trying to act...nonchalant.

"Nothing. Just asking."

"Okay. You wanna come in?" I offer, trying to be polite knowing that we were meant for more than him asking if I'm going out with one of his best friends.

"Nah." He says, already turning around and leaving.

-

"I lied." I turn around, surprised by Tom showing up unexpectedly for the second time today.

"Huh?"

He had probably traced me down to the library where I was enjoying my own company.

"I didn't think this would irritate me this much, but it does. I hate seeing you with Malfoy."

"To-"

"Shit, Y/n. That should've been me."

"You're dating Blaise?" Draco pulls me aside after our only class together and I struggle against his grip on my wrist.

"Since when?" He says when I don't respond.

"Since today. How did you know?" I say, feeling him abruptly let go of my wrist and clench his jaw.

"I saw you two together."

"Really? Where? I didn't see you. We didn't want everyone to know..." I say, a little worried.

"When you were walking back to the castle."

I nod. I wasn't lying; I didn't see Draco there. I didn't want him to see me and Blaise.

Blaise and I were dating, but not for the reason Draco thinks we are. Blaise wanted nothing more with me other than to make Luna jealous.

I'm just helping him. I only have eyes for Malfoy.

I wanted Draco to ask me out, but when he didn't... and Valentines neared, I agreed to help blaise.

"You looked so happy." Draco says softly and my heart breaks a little.

"Yeah, I had fun." I try not to make my lies obvious.
